    The words tyranny and slavery suggest that Britain abuses its power and mistreats the colonists.

    The negative connotations of tyranny and slavery illustrate disgust with Britain's behavior toward the colonists.

    Explanation:

    "The American Crisis" is a pamphlet series or a collection of articles written by Thomas Paine regarding the "American Revolution." This strengthened the American people's commitment to become independent from England.

    The crisis in the articles were outlined with each explaining the hardships/struggles of America from Britain. Although he wrote the article in a simple voice, it was strong enough to relay its purpose.

    The words "tyranny" and "slavery" were used by Pain in his article and these words suggest that Britain abused its power and mistreats the colonists. He even compared the King of Britain to that of a murderer and a house-breaker regarding his intentions towards America. He used tyranny and slavery (which are, obviously, negative) in order to illustrate disgust with Britain's behavior towards its colonists. He even mentioned at an excerpt in Crisis 1 that Britain was able to enforce her tyranny because of its army.
